Upon this department depends the preserva-
ton of public order and the practical enforce
ment Of the laws. For some time it has been
apparent that our small police force cannot
adequately perform all the duties required Of
them. Not only are they expected to patrol
the entire city by day and night but also to
prevent all violation of the statutes. The rail-
road development upon our municipal borders
has added, also, to the necessity Of increasing
their number. To avoid such an increase,
however it was decided, after an examination.
of its practical workings, TO introduce the po-
lice signal system into our city. A contract
was accordingly made for this purpose at an
nual cost Of less than the salaries Of two addi-
tonal officers. After its introduction, police
men, upon making arrests, viii not be Obliged

Editor Pioneer:-Perhaps you think
we have no sprinters on this side of
the line, but you are mistaken, for
we, as a nation, are young yet, and
our legs are supple and not easily
overtaken, as Collector Martin found
out a few days since, while after
some Of our best boys.
There were three of them went to
st. John (this is the way l heard the
story q few days since intending to
get through the lines without paying
duty on their team. They left the
team some miles out of town on your
side but near the line, and went in to
report, and said they wanted to get
land. Friend Martin spotted one of
them at once as a party who had tried
to pass a few days before but did not
as he would not put up the dust.
Said M. to the three, II will give
you just ten minutes to get out Of
here" and they got.
The idea then struck him that as
they had no team in town, they must
have one somewhere near the line
and he would just drive out for hi
health. The parties got separated in
the large town Of St. Joan, and two
of them struck out for their base sup.
plies, while the third one, whom, for
convenience, we will call Johnny
Wright, finding himself left behind
hired a rig to carry him out to the
front, Shortly after leaving town he
caught sight Of the u. S. Law after
him, and then it was a go-as-you-
please gait for a few miles, when,
Wright having the best horse, took
the lead a little too much to make it
interesting for Martin, so the latter
turned back, thinking, ! suppose that
q man scared to death il as bad off AZ
any dead man. Wright soon after
came in sight of the other fee'ers, and
then there was another race. Nos.
land 2 thought the customs close af.
ter them, and they say the gait they
struck would have made Maud s.
blush for very envy. With them it
was team or no team, and they got
there Eli, and after whooping their
team over the line, stopped to take
breath and blow at the customs off,
Ger when who should drive up but

the farmers school. In it the great
majority of the farmers of to-day re.

great majority Of those Of the next
generation will receive the whole of
their schooling.
Is the country school doing what it
should for the farmers boy? Is it
giving to the boy who will remain on
the farm that kind of an education
which will be the best preparation for
life's work?
What is an education for? Why
should a boy spend SO much time in
the school-room? The purpose Of a
boys education is to fit him for his
work, whatever that may be-. The
education given in a country school
ought then to fit the boy to be a sue
cessful farmer, for that is to be the
profession Of most country school.

What education does the farmer's
profession demand? The ability to
read, write and understand the Eng.
lish language and to make readily all
the ordinary numerical calculations
connected with his business-this II

and this is practically all that many

EDGEF1ELD, December l5.-In 1882 the
town of Edgcficd issued bonds TO the a.
mount of twelve thousand dollars to aid in
tie construction of the Edgefield Branch
Road, extending from Trenton to this place,
row forming part Of the Carolina and Cum.
berland Gap Road. A first mortgage OF the
road-be was executed to the town council to
secure the payment OF the bonds. A contract
was OF course entered into on the part OF the
railroad TO build the line within Il certain
time and upon certain conditions. These
ties have long since been broken, and suit
las been brought to foreclose the mortgage,
upon which our master has filed Il report,
finding that there is due thereupOn upwards
cf seventeen thousand dollars, for which a.
mount the council are entitled to Il decree of
foreclosure.
John Gary Evans, of Aiken, representing
Ike present contractors of the Caroliua Gap
Road has bGCn here for several days, to urge
the cOancil, upon the consideration of the
company delivering to them income bonds OF
road to The amount OF the mortgage, to release
It's lien upon the road bed, AS q result OF his
Iabors q called meeting OF the citizens OF the
town was held last night which eliminated
III the passage Of resolution to the effect that
the council be empowered to sign an agree
lien until March !, at which time II the road
vas completed TO this point and the income

Ccled.
This agreement, all that was asked for by
the road, was signed this morning, and now
il seems that the way is clear for the Construc-
tion Company to begin work at once, which
its head representative, Nj. Potts, OF New
York, says will be done.
